Basement Finishing Products We Do NOT Recommend

The Total Basement Finishing System has been designed by both waterproofers and remodelers in the basement industries, and they're designed to look great and resist damage from moisture and flooding.

There's a lot of other basement finishing systems out there! To date, we haven't seen another system that holds up to the potential issues of a basement quite as well as ours. With that in mind, here's a few basement finishing products that we do NOT recommend:

Drywall & Wood Studs

Many homeowners install drywall in a basement because it's inexpensive and can easily make their finished basement match the design of the rest of their home. Unfortunately, drywall (even mold-resistant "greenboard" drywall) is not designed to last in a potentially humid or wet space.

If exposed to prolonged humidity, drywall will grow mold and mildew, and increase the number of allergens in your home. At first, this mold growth may be behind the wallboard, affecting your health while remaining invisible to the naked eye.

If there's a flood, all wet drywall will need to be replaced entirely, as it will quickly disintegrate and grow mold.

Fiberglass & Fabric Walls

Basement wall systems made out of fiberglass, metal studs, and a fabric cover have many weaknesses that the companies that sell them would rather you didn't know about.

During a flood, these wall panels soak up moisture like a sponge, in many scenarios being completely ruined. And despite "mold-resistant' claims, they can certainly grow mold!

These panels will also collect fingerprints and stains over time, and are very difficult to remove.

And the metal of their frames conducts heat straight out of your basement, severely compromising their insular value.

Organic Basement Carpet On Concrete

Moisture rises up continually through the pores of concrete from the damp earth around them in the form of water vapor. Even if your basement floor looks completely dry, this remains true.

If a carpet is placed directly on the concrete floor, this moisture will be trapped underneath, building up and leading to a potential mold issue.

This also rings true if the subfloor is made of organic material such as wood, plywood, or chipboard tiles.

We recommend either finishing the basement floor with inorganic materials or creating an inorganic vapor barrier on your basement floor that will protect it from water vapor from the concrete slab.

Generic Drop Ceiling Tiles

Generic drop ceiling tiles can give a finished basement an industrial look. They tend to sag in the middle over time, and their 90-degree edges give the basement a very cold, office-like feeling.

At Total Basement Finishing, our ceiling tiles have a premium, warm look that makes any finished basement look fantastic.

We include a 30-year warranty against the growth of mold and mildew, as well as against sagging.

When remodeling, it's the little finishing touches that can make all the difference. Our drop ceilings also include a crown molding around the edges -- making for a warm, inviting look.

Single-Paned, Steel Basement Windows

Basement windows are designed to maximize the amount of natural sunlight into your basement -- making it feel more like part of your home and less like an underground bunker.

If those windows are rusted shut and drafty, they're not doing the job they were intended for. And to make matters worse, they're also costing you a bundle on your energy bills!

Our basement windows include two panes of Low-E glass, and an energy efficient vinyl frame that will never rust in place, rot, or need painting.
